The ‘Evolution’ Image

Isn’t this picture cool?!?

I first encountered this image on Christopher Allen’s Life with Alacrity Web site more than a dozen years ago in 2005. In doing some investigation on Google images, you can also find it by searching under images for evolution.jpg.

I have not been able to find the original artist or copyright for this image. If someone knows who I should be attributing, please let me know and I will gladly do so.

You should know that I have significantly cleaned up the original, giving it a clean background, removing extraneous pixels, and generally sharpening it up (plus some steganography). If you happen to re-use it, please provide attribution.

However, if you are the original artist and you encounter my use of this image without attribution, please accept my sincere apologies for having done so and my thanks for capturing so much. Upon notice, I will provide attribution or cease using the image.
